AN EMPTY NEST.
A grave old man and n maiden fair

A grave old man and n maiden fair
Walked together at early morn;
The thrushes up in the clear, cool air
Sang to the farmer planting his corn.
And o. how sweet was the fresh turned mound!
And o. how fair were the budding treesl
For daisy's silver and daffodil's gold
Were full of the happy honey bees.
"Ah, look! there's an empty nest, /" she said;
And | wonder where sings the last years
birdsf''
Then the old man quickly raised his head,
Though scarcely he noted her musng words;
He tore the nest from the swaying tree,
He flung to the winds its moss and hay,
And said: when an empty nest you see
Be sure that you throw it far away"
But why?n she asked, with a sorrowing face
why may not the pretty home abide?"
Because, he answered, twill be place
In which the worm and the slug will hide.
Last year twas fair enough in its way
1t was full of love and merry with song;
But days that gone must not spoil today,
Nor dead joys do the living joys wrong
The maiden heard with thoughtful face
Her first false love had gone far away
And she thought; Is my heart become place
For anger and grief and hate to stay?
Down. heart, with thy sad forsaken nest
Fling far thy selfish and idle pain,
The love that is ours is always the best
And she went with smile TO her work again

THE DARKEST HOUR.

For period of four years I've been a
victim of very severe and agonizing
case of salt rheum, which affected my
hands to such an extent that they almost
became a burden.
NV hand became raw and horrifying
compelling me to keep it covered all the
time.
I've spent hundreds of dollars for var
ious preparations, but instead of benefits
ing my condition. they all seemed to
stimulate and encourage the progress of
the miserable disease, until had about
given up all hope.
But thank heaven, 'the darkest hour
is just before day." and am reJoiced to
know that positive cure has been found,
which is known as B. D. B.-Botanic
Blood Balm.
My family all rejoice at its magical
curative powers in giving me relief. Ny
hand has been cured and resembles a
burnt surface after being healed over.
more than anything else II has also
cured my two children of a loathsome
form of itch which has resisted all pre-
viOus treatment. ! refer to any business

TUE Philadelphia Times defines
it that boss to be a true boss must
control the offices or he is not enti-
tied to the name of boss. That
is very evidently the light in which
the bosses view it, but those who arc
not bosses and do not agree with
the accepted principles of bossism,
as represented by the men who
control the offices, have an idea
that boss should, in the first place
be a gentleman, in the second place
an honest and integrious guardian
of the peoples interest, and in the
third place a pronounced enemy of
corruption and trickery of the ring
rule type.

to this some days ago, and now
that the public knows what it is to
expect it should set down and de-
